Josie Varga Joins us!

Josie Varga does not consider herself disabled and never will. Her disability, she believes, is her strength not her weakness. Despite having both cerebral palsy and bilateral hearing loss, she considers herself very fortunate as she prefers to live her life focusing on the positive. Discovering her passion for writing as a little girl growing up in Elizabeth, New Jersey, she went on to earn a degree in journalism and worked her way up to Director of Communications and Editor for an international trade association where she met and interviewed celebrities, authors, speakers, sport personalities and others. Josie later became a successful communications consultant while authoring her first book, “Footpints in the Sand: A Disabled Woman’s Inspiring Journey to Happiness,” which was published in 2004. She is a motivational speaker encouraging audiences to strive to overcome and sharing the importance of having a positive mental attitude in life. Most recently, she was the co-host of The Freedom To Travel Show on BBS Radio. She has also been a guest on many radio and televisoin programs. She just completed her second nonfiction entitled, “Make Up Your Mind to Be Happy: 103 Spirit Boosters” and is nearing completion of a third. The latter is another nonfiction entitled, “Visits from Heaven,” which is a compilation of evidential afterlife accounts from around the world. This ground-breaking book will make readers question the very existence of death. “Visits From Heaven” will be followed by a sequel called “Visits To Heaven,” which will focus on near-death experiences (NDEs). A creative thinker, Josie holds patents for two inventions and has written treatments for reality
